8 more games added to the collection, along with one more console
system! We'll start it off with this bad boy found at Goodwill
earlier this week:

323 - Sonic The Hedgehog 3 (Gen)

Don't let the price tag fool you
there. The lady at the counter gave it to me for
$4.99! Sweet! It was still in awesome
shape, and included the original box (with hang tag), instructions,
and of course......the game. I now have all 3 original Sonic
games for the Genesis. Sadly my copy of the first one is just
cartridge only. But hey, I shouldn't complain too much, eh?

Next up, some more Genesis goodies I
aquired from another Game store later in this past week. I think
I really got some good ones in here!......

Ok, so I played through all of
these. I didn't like Galaxy Force II at all. Gargoyles was fun for a couple minutes, but just didn't do anything for
me. King Of The Monsters was like playing an old 80's wrestling video game, minus the
ring/ropes, minus the wrestlers, but with ginormous humans vs.
creatures/monsters, fighting game type moves, along with wrestling
moves, all played on levels that were supposed to be really tiny
cities. Or regular sized cities, with like I said, ginormous
characters that made the cities look small. Just a wierd game......

Taz was a pretty cute platformer, until I got stuck in a place, that
had absolutely no way to get out of. Not sure how I got there,
didn't see a way out, so I moved on to the last 2 games, and the jems
of this lot......

BusyTown, and Wacky Worlds. These 2 games were 2 of the handful released by Sega
under their Sega Club brand. Basically, games for little kids. Really
little kids. Educational games. They were made in small
numbers, and obviously didn't sell a ton of copies. Yet I was
intrigued with them, and decided to add them to my collection. BusyTown is a learn words, and places type game for the Genesis.
Based from a PC game and childrens book series, I can see how this may
have been fun for the youngsters. I got bored really quick, but
hey......I am 30 years old. What do I know? This game
along with Wacky Worlds were useable with a special Sega Mouse. Hell, from what I read, Wacky Worlds even came packaged with the Mouse!

Wacky Worlds, stars Sonic The Hedgehog, and was basically was Sega's answer
to Mario Paint on the SNES. The only reason why I really love this game,
was that it has a music creation feature. Somewhat primitave in
nature, but alot of fun! Mix, and re-mix various sound clips and
bytes based on various Sega game like tunes, and it even includes
other Sega characters in the process (Toejam & Earl poped up). A really fun game!

While at the same store I bought these
Genesis carts, I saw this lovely game in a locked case!......

330 - Dragon's Lair (SegaCD)

This thing was 99%
Mint! I take off 1% for there being no plastic wrap on
it (i.e. sealed). The thing didn't even have any fingerprints on
it (until I got my gamer mits all over it!...lol). All was brand
new...... disc, book, case.......hell, the damn sponge to protect the
disc was even still in there. I am a fan of anything Don Bluth
animates, and was a huge fan of Blazing Dragon's on the PS1. This games is very hard to play though. And
frustrating. Just look it up sometime if you don't believe
me. It is based on an old LaserDisc game from 1983, and basically involves you, the player, to
press directional and action buttons at the right time throughout the
pre-scripted, and pre-determined animated scenes throughout the
game. You basically have to guide the main character (Dirk) all
the way to the end. Eventually, I would like to get better at
the timming involved with this game, and see how far I can actually
get in it. :)

And finally, while my friend was at a local Salvation Army, she
grabbed this little bundle for me for a whopping $0.50!......

The 17th system added to
my collection of consoles & handhelds. It also makes my
4th Genesis system! Seems odd to have
4 of them now, but I didn't actually have a
Model 2 system, so I couldn't pass it up. In
total, I now have 2 Genesis Model 1's, 1 Genesis Model 2, and 1 Genesis Model 3. Yeah I suppose you can say that I am a huge Sega
nut! LOL ;)

Well guys and gals, other than my weekly
update to my website (www.mvm-e.com/g42), and this blog, thats
about all I have for right now. I am expecting to have a very
busy week next week, so I may or may not be able to do my weekend
blog/site update next week. We'll have to see how it all goes.

Ok, I have games to play and things to
do. Have a great week everyone, and as always.....

Dragons and Mice

I think we need to start scoping out different places and find this
mouse. Your collection won't be complete without it! I
mean, now that you have games that were supposed to use it....

And on a final note I really think someday you should sit down with a
walkthrough and complete Dragon's Lair. No matter how
frustrating it gets, you will feel such a sense of accomplishment when
you are done. :) And it will be cool.

Emergency

We had to replace my pc in a hurry. It was gonna die any
day. I want a MAC someday, but that will be awhile. Too
expensive right now. Hell, getting this one is strapping our
funds enough as it is. But it was needed. Without a
working PC, Mandy and I would both be terribly lost.......lol

keep it up

I don't have a genesis anymore. I sold mine when I was a kid. If I
remember right that was for funds for a PS1. Can't remember. Well I
wish I had one as well as a mint copy of all the Sonic games up to
Sonic and Knuckles. I enjoyed the series on the Genesis. I still await
Sega get their head out of their ass and make a hd remake or
new traditional 2D title for PSN/XBLA.
